Pros

Great health benefits, nice co-workers, flexible schedules

Cons

Pay hasn't kept up since they moved to Vegas in 2004. Very difficult to advance in CLT and they're getting stingier with pay increases. I was with Zappos for almost 6 years and was able to acquire many skill sets and earn pay raises getting close to the max amount for a CLT member. Many of the skills I acquired were removed or the pay increase for achieving them was lowered. It's very difficult to advance in CLT. I tried to pursue leadership several times but was denied an interview each time and was given advice that was code for "become your Supervisor/Manager's BFF". The last time I applied to pursue leadership the Toolbox (CLT department in charge of leadership progression) didn't bother to follow up with me and I had to contact them to see what was going on. It was at that moment I knew it was over for me at Zappos. My only regret is I stayed a year too long. I would recommend Zappos to someone looking for a short term job.

Pros

In the beginning of my time at the company, there were so many positives. I struggle to find a single one, now.

Cons

Everyone from old Zappos quit or was forced out and replaced by people who have clearly never had a job before, yet get paid way more than I do. Leadership is scarily terrible. I went to HR on leadership many times but they didn’t care and told me I was the problem for enjoying the “old Zappos”. I am not allowed to list specific names in my review or else “new Zappos” remove it, but do not join marketing for LACK of experienced, smart, and kind hearted leadership.
